00:00Straight from the pages of Essence Magazine, I'm Corinne Corbett, your beauty director,
00:04here to take you on a journey to discover the fiercest products, the latest gadgets,
00:10and talk about all things beautiful.
00:13This is Beauty All Access.
00:15So ladies, we're back with part two of our special two-parter with makeup artist Nzinga.
00:24She did something really amazing for us in episode one.
00:28And I know you can't wait to see what she's done in this episode.
00:31Check it out.
00:54So ladies, we're back with the legendary makeup artist Nzinga.
00:58And this amazing red eye.
01:01Nzinga, how did we get this eye?
01:03Ooh.
01:04It's scary.
01:05No, not so much.
01:07No.
01:08It's gorgeous and dramatic.
01:10Yes.
01:11I like drama.
01:12Like I said, I like color.
01:13Right.
01:14Another one of my faves is red, and red is hot this season.
01:18Right.
01:19I took NARS lip gloss and used it to create a glossy eye for her.
01:27I used the NARS white pencil, and I used Make Up For Ever blue pencil, and Make Up For Ever blue mascara.
01:36And so what I did was, this is great fun, thank you for this product, because it has a brush.
01:43It's glossy, but it has a brush.
01:45And so what I did, see I dabbed it on, and I used my finger to go across, and just dab it
01:52again.
01:53And it creates a glossy eyelid, and I've always liked the look of a glossy eyelid.
02:01But does it get sticky?
02:03It's slightly sticky.
02:05What do you think?
02:07Is it sticky?
02:08Is it really bad?
02:09It's a little sticky.
02:10It's a little tacky.
02:11But it's not too bad.
02:12And what I did was, I lined with the white liner, right underneath her brow, to create
02:18a highlight.
02:19And I also took the blue liner, and winged it out, and along with the blue mascara, just
02:26kind of created a blue wing there.
02:28You know, I'm a big superhero fan, like, and I've been waiting for this Wonder Woman movie
02:34to come out for forever, but when I saw this, my mind immediately raced to Wonder Woman in
02:39all-American style, and I thought, well, what's more all-American than red, white, and blue?
02:46So that's what I created with this look here.
02:48It gives us drama in a new way, and that's what I like most about it.
02:52Yeah.
02:53And I like that she just has a little pop of the gloss on her lips, too, which just gives
02:57a lovely uniform look without, you know, screaming red.
03:01Yeah.
03:02It's a nice finish.
03:03This color is by NARS, and it's called Norma, and it's a semi-sheer color, but it's
03:09you know, when you look at it in the bottle, it looks really, really, really red, but it's
03:14kind of semi-sheer, which works for this eye.
03:18It kind of makes it look more plummy in opposition to red, but it is a red.
03:24So this is a rule breaker.
03:26The rule is, normally, we don't use lip liners, lip pencils for eyes, but who says?
03:32Who says?
03:33Well, we've broken some rules today and come up with some beautiful effects.
03:37Thank you Nzinga so much.
03:39And we've got to say thank you to Jackie, who's always a willing participant in our beauty
03:45adventures.
